Good track
Super wide fairways and little in the way of hazards other than bunkers make this an enjoyable experience and less stressful than some of the target courses. Greens and fairways in good shape. GPS on carts could speed up play even when it is cart path only. Some construction going on that challenges parking but little else. Not sure what the signature hole would be, not much in elevation changes . Overall fun golf course.
Unexpected
This is a friendly course with wide fairways and forgiving rough. Entrance and parking lots are still under Cindy but no real issues
Overall 7out of 10.
Over priced for the value
Club house under renovation and closed. Cart path only.
If the course notified golfers ahead of time of the renovation and cart path only, I would not have played there.
Roads and clubhouse under construction
The golf course was great. The only negative was the construction activity and lack of signage with instruction of where to check in, get a cart, etc. We understand when done this will be an improvement but don't let people wonder what to do upon arrival.
Another try - another disappointment!
This is the third time playing this course. It is very well maintained and it looks like a great course, however I have never played the entire 18 holes. Talking Sticks packs in WAY too many people into this course. First-it seems like there is always construction going on at the course-difficulty to find a parking space and then find the clubhouse. Two - again-didn't have enough carts, had to wait for a cart to be returned and we almost missed our tee time. Third, the pace of play was horrendous!! We waited on every hole and we only played 6 holes in 2 hours. Not worth the time, energy and pay. I'm done!
It's ok.
Course is boring, no elevation, greens were fuzzy and slow. Bunkers were a crusty sand. (The club did get through it fine). Nothing that you envision for Arizona golf. Nothing spectacular. Will not be back.
Not worth the money for that course
Course was an amazing condition, but absolutely no challenge and not worth the price for that kind of layout. Also, you can find much better courses with better challenges for half of the price and also in amazing condition.
Talking Stick
The greens weren't ready for play and carts were only allowed on cart paths. Had I known, I wouldn't have booked the course. There are a lot of courses in the area that I would go and play, before I played here again.
